It was a beautiful morning but Artemis was amazingly annoyed.She had just been dropped off by her parents here.They didn't offer any help or advice, just asked her to go and find the office to get things settled.Artemis knew they loved her, but their way of showing it was very very wrong.She went through the old metal gates that were crafted so intricately.She was amazed by this place.Her powers had started when she was 14 and now she was finally going to be able to learn about it and use it properly.
Artemis saw a beutiful coutyard to her left and decided to go and have a look before going to find the office.The courtyard was enclosed by high hedges and there was a large central fountain there.The water was sparkling like diamonds in the fountain.The ground was tiled and there were many marble benches surrounding the perimeter.Everything was so beautiful here.
She wandered around and sat on one of the benches nearer to the fountain.Her memory flipped back to her time in Malaysia, where she had been born and bred.She had just come back over here last year.She remembered her friends that she had left.
All the fun they had had, the tears they shared and all the hardships they overcome.It was amazing to Artmie how all these things could stem from a uniformed group that she had joined in school.She had never known what she was getting into when she joined St. John Amblunce Malaysia in her school, which was an elite school with good academic and co-curicular achievements.The demanding training and seniors who were way to serious to her been a great influence in her life.And all the good things there slowly overcame the bad and she couldn't bear to leave them.But she had to so here she was now.
She wondered if anyone was here.It was such a big place.Maybe she would meet someone and make friends.Maybe they could help me get to the office...

He hadn’t seen a lot of the school, yet—he had gone straight from the gate to the office to his dorm, where he had dropped off his bags. Finding no one there, he decided to a spot of exploration; it had seemed a beautiful place from what little had seen, and he decided that since there was nothing better to do, he might as well. Vincent was notoriously bad with directions, and under pressure he seemed to rely on his luck—which, sadly, was almost always guaranteed to point him in the wrong direction. One would be better off going in the opposite direction.
He had just walked out the door and into the welcoming breeze when a stray breeze brought the sound of gurgling water. Knowing the lake probably didn’t gurgle (and it was probably too far away anyway), he turned his attention towards the source of the sound, looking rather like an idiot as he wandered around in circles before finally deciding on a direction. He emerged through immaculately trimmed hedges into a charming, tiled courtyard. His gaze was drawn first to the fountain, which gurgled happily. Like the water, the tiles beneath his feet and the marble benches were clean of taint, other than the unavoidable dust of the outdoors. It was as his gaze was wandering over the benches (did they have someone clean these things regularly?) he spotted someone perched on one of the slabs whose cleanliness he had just been admiring. Jumping—how had he missed an entire person?—he stuttered, “Uh, s—sorry, am I disturbing anything...?” [/color] as he backed nervously towards the way he had come. “I, uh, didn’t see you there.”[/color] Obviously. While you could consider Vincent as a smart person, his reaction speed left much to be desired, especially when dealing with people. He continued to inch backwards as he struggled for words, apparently completely oblivious to the fact that the courtyard was not out of bounds, until he bumped into a hedge, upon whence he gave an unmanly squeak. He shot a desperate glance to the side, only to discover that he had missed the entryway by a few feet. [/blockquote] tags; artemis count; three sixty two |
